There have been several documentaries addressing this question. They brought to light some discrepancies in the calendar and the holiday / holyday Jesus and the Apostles were celebrating at the Last Supper. Most of it was very interesting and informative.

The point is, however, is not what day of the week Jesus was killed or rose up. The important issue is that the event took place at all. and Easter is the celebration of the event.

I hope most of you don't really think that Jesus was born on the exact date of December 25. The days / dates of the holidays are twofold, 1. A reference for us, 2. A connections from the older holidays (Jewish, Roman, etc.) to the new Christian holidays.

Amen. Well said. I find it interesting and thought provoking to discuss secondary issues of scripture. However one should never lose sight of the essentials and bicker over side issues.
